Play

There's a game I'd like to play,

but I've been told it's real,

so I cannot play just yet

for I have not made a deal.  

But dealings with the universe

are absurdities rank with folly,

so I guess I can begin to play

and just be thankful if I'm jolly.

And if the universe decides

that I am blessed enough

and it chews upon me and the game,

I'll respond my being tough.
